Is it true that you can eat whatever you want as long as you keep your carbs at 20 or less and sugars at 5 or less.
I want to clarify that 5 teaspoons of sugar is the equivalent of 20 net carbs. It's not that you can have both 20 net carbs and 5 sugars. Always calculate your net carbs 20 or under for the day. Now lets talk about Hardy's. Hardy's has a GREAT low Carb Burger. They wrap a 1/4 pound burger in a wonderful iceburg lettuce wrap and it will fill you up. Skip the ketchup and you're only eating 3-4 net carbs for a big lunch. Why eat 4 little chicken tenders spending all those carbs when you can endulge for far less carbs
YES it's true that I don't care what you eat as long as you stay under 20 net carbs BUT eating refined sugar or simple carbs as found in high fructose fruits and starch from grains and starchy veggies will make it more difficult to break the addiction to sugar. The quicker you put those foods behind you and develop new tastes and habits the better off you'll be.
Finally I want to feed you a huge platter of chicken tenders with ZERO carbs...ready for the recipe? here you go;
1 1/2 cups chicken breast strips or chunks
1 cup finely ground hot and spicy pork rinds
1 egg, beaten.
1 cup peanut oil for deep frying
salt and pepper to taste
Ranch Dressing for dip (count carbs here)
1- pre-heat your oil to 375 degrees
2- dredge the chicken in the egg
3- dredge the chicken in the pork rinds
4- deep fry to a golden brown
5- eat guilt free
